Thousands march in Uruguay to commemorate victims of dictatorship

Thousands of people took part in the March of Silence in the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo, on Wednesday, in memory of the people who disappeared during the country’s 1973-85 dictatorship. Many demonstrators carried portraits of the missing and a banner reading "Stop impunity! Truth and justice." The demonstration took place just several hours after President Tabare Vazquez created a special group to investigate the violations of human rights under the military dictatorship.
